Hero-of-Time Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 The next true installment of the Metal Gear series arrives on the PSP. Set a few years after the events of MGS3 you are once again in control of Big Boss as the game bridges the events between Metal Gear Solid 3 and the original Metal Gear.
Dyson Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Yeesh no. Didn't like MGS3 at all, Rising looks much more up my street.
Retro_Link Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Thing is, I don't see how people would want to 'go back a generation' for the next apparently 'true' installment. I'd find that pretty hard to take.
Choze Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Yeesh no. Didn't like MGS3 at all, Rising looks much more up my street. Bolt lightening action :p This is the tactical espionage one.
The Lillster Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Thing is, I don't see how people would want to 'go back a generation' for the next apparently 'true' installment. I'd find that pretty hard to take. Dragon Quest did it, and a lot of people are still looking forward to IX and X.
Dan_Dare Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 the two men in a box bit was piss funny. so: co-op tactical espionage action! Could be really good. loved MGS 3, too. The low fi cold war feel was bloody brilliant.
Mundi Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I finished MGS3 a few weeks ago so I am very excited for this. I need to finish MGS 1 and 2 though before I get into this so I can know what questions this new game answers.
Daft Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I think the ending to MGS3 is the best ending to a game ever.
STOOPIDDITTIES Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I think the ending to MGS3 is the best ending to a game ever. Did you shed a tear too? Or was that just me? THIS GAME LOOKS SEXTASTIC!!!!
Hero-of-Time Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 Did you shed a tear too? Or was that just me? I nearly did, the ending was very emotional
Daft Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Did you shed a tear too? Or was that just me? There was a lump in my throat.
flameboy Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Well heard that this is being made by the Metal Gear team and whilst Rising's Lightning Bolt Action will be handled by a different team which figures. Personally really looking forward to it. Definitely got to pick up a PS2 now to finally play Subsistence. One interesting theory Mark Mcdonald one Listen Up! had was that perhaps the game will have a Monster Hunter multiplayer vibe? He based it purely on the 4 snakes and the appearance of Metal Gear Ray as the Dragon kinda...its just a theory he said it was the first thing that sprung to his mind when he saw the trailer...personally am intrigued how the hell they will explain four naked snakes in the story...guess it is simple cloning, but justifying it in a plot is a bit different...unless the multiplayer is separate and not a part of the main story.
flameboy Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Dont Konami have a press conference right now? Yep can't find any video feeds but here's two live blogs; http://e3.gamespot.com/story/6210520/konami-e3-2009-press-conference-live-blog-now-live http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3174596
Sheikah Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Thing is, I don't see how people would want to 'go back a generation' for the next apparently 'true' installment. I'd find that pretty hard to take. I know I'm not alone here, but I found MGS3 to be the best by a mile. So this is definitely a good thing.
dwarf Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 I actually think it could work really well, there's sometimes a certain charm that older 3D graphics technology can possess and this looks to have it. If there's lots of content then it could be great. The short time I've spent playing MGS3, it's been my least favourite. They made the camera so annoying in that game.
Domstercool Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Thing is, I don't see how people would want to 'go back a generation' for the next apparently 'true' installment. I'd find that pretty hard to take. That's the same as Dragon Quest IX, but that still got solid reviews
Deathjam Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Forget the scans, check out the new vid up on Gametrailers. Looks like a system seller to me....Very impressive
Dante Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 The focus of the Famitsu update is on the game's multiplayer cooperative component. This area of the game allows for two to four players to team up to clear missions. Players will have to work together in a variety of ways for this area of the game. Screenshots show one player using the other player as a step to reach a higher platform. Another screen shows one player holding up a closing door while the other player runs inside. Players can also save their allies. In one screen, we see one player reviving another player through CPR. Will there be mouth to mouth as well? Kojima and crew have come up with some unique systems to facilitate multiplayer play. If you make your character put his hand on the back of another player's character, the two characters will be connected. When one moves, the other will follow automatically. Some screens show a mysterious red ring surrounding two characters. While Famitsu doesn't say for sure, it seems that when these rings are overlapping, the two characters can share weapons and equipment. Obviously, the multiplayer support suggests the strong possibility for strategic play. A few examples in Famitsu show players teaming up with multiple types of guns, allowing for long distance and close-range fire. One screen shows one character grabbing an enemy from behind after the enemy had been alerted to the other player approaching from the front.
Ryan Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Excellent trailer, may of just made me want a PSP Go. It would of had to be a Metal Gear game wouldn't it? I bought my 2000 with Portable Ops..
Dante Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 new scan: Master Miller. Master Miller is Big Boss' partner in the game, while Paz and Galvez make up the rest of the "support" team.
sumo73 Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Thing is, I don't see how people would want to 'go back a generation' for the next apparently 'true' installment. I'd find that pretty hard to take. After people played MGS 2 they later on went onto play MSG 3 which wasn't a sequel to 2 but set way before MGS1. This type of thing has worked before so I don't see why it can't happen again. I've got all the MG games on the PSP so I'm looking forward to this one coming out. Shame that there's still no word from Kojima san about any Wii or DS Metal Gear game.
